Application filerlAug'us't 6, 1913. Serial No. 783,426.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK M. BAsHELIER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jenkintown, Montgomery county, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented and discovered certain new and useful Improvements in Printers Cabinet's, of which the following is a specification.

My said invention consists in certain improvements in the details of construction and arrangement of parts of a printers cabinet, of that general character forming the subject matter of my Patent 1,057 ,372,

but designed especially for printers use in newspaper offices, whereby such a cabinet is provided wherein the type, lead, slugs,

and other materials used, are held and stored in a most convenient arrangement for use and also a convenient make-up table is provided having a fiat working surface suitable for newspaper make-up work, thereby combining both the composition and make-up conveniences in a single cabinet,

all as will be hereinafter more fully de-' Fig. 1 is filled with type cases and its top above said type cases is provided with a sloping work-bank 11 adapted for well known use. The sloping work-bank 11 pref erably extends from the flush side of the frame at its lower edge back to a point beyond the center line of the cabinet or nearly to above the opposite side of said cabinet,

and elevated above the fiat make-up table ofthe opposite side. table 12 projects for a considerabledistance beyond the opposite edge ofsaid casing 10 and also extends backward beneath the rear edge of the sloping work-bank 11, preferably to beyond the center line,'a sufficient space being provided between the under side of the rear edge of the flat make-up table Said flat make-up to accommodate the forms and afford room to handle and take care of the matter contained therein.

Beneath the overhanging edge of the flat make-up table 12 are provided drawers 13 and an open pocket 14 for convenience in storing material to be used. Above the make-up table 1.2 and supported from the rear edge of the sloping work-bank 11, is mounted in an inclined position a type, slug and lead containing case 15 in convenient position for use.

Beneath the drawers casing 10 is mounted a shelf 16 in an inclined position, as in my patent before referred to.

In use the cabinets may be arranged in 13 on the face of the the composing room as 'explainedin my above mentioned patent, or in any convenient manner. By reason of the flat make- I up table 12, the cabinet is especially adapted for newspaper oflices andwork as a large make-up surface is immediately and conveniently available in connection with the cabinet containing all the type or material for making up the forms.

Having thus fully described my said in vention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A printers cabinet comprising a cas-x ing, an inclined 'work-bankonthe top of said casing extending from one edge in an upwardly inclined direction substantially.

across the top of said casing, and a flat makeup table on the opposite side of said casing extending for a distance beneath the rear edge of said inclined. work-bank and overhanging the outer edge of said casing, substantially as set forth.

2. A printers cabinet comprising a casing, an inclined work-bank extending longitudinally on the top of said casing and from one edge rearwardly to beyond the center line of saidv casing, a flat make-up table on theopposite side of the top of said casing extending for a distance beneath the rear edge of said work-bank and extending outwardly for a considerable distance be yond the casing, substantially as set forth.

8. A printers cabinet comprising a casing with a .top having a work-bank inclined downwardly'from an intermediate point toward one side of the cabinet, and a fiat table extending ffem an interhand seal at lhfladelphia; Pennmediate point towardtheother side of the sylvania this l8th day f July, A.
